You need an accountability buddy. | MOBE

You need an accountability buddy.

Discover the power of partnership.

Research shows that we’re more likely to keep the promises we make to someone else than the ones we make to ourselves.1 

Knowing that your MOBE Guide is invested in your progress makes you less likely to fall off course. 

Find the right partner.

A Guide won’t shy away from giving you a judgment-free nudge when you need it. They’ll challenge you to keep going when you think about quitting.

Create a structure you can count on. 

Together, you and your Guide can decide how your partnership will work. Experts agree that setting up a structure is the key to success.2 Create a routine that fits your needs. Adjust it if things change. 

Start with logistics. 

How often will you check in with each other? Hint: often is good. What will you use to check in? You could talk on the phone or chat in the MOBE Health Guide app. 

Establish ground rules.

Do you prefer active guidance or passive check-ins? Do want your Guide to ask questions or do you want ideas and feedback, too?

Revisit your goals. 

Pick a time frame to reflect on your progress and reevaluate your partnership. Discuss what’s changed, what you’ve learned, and if you need to adjust anything.

Accomplish new things, together.

Set yourself up for success. Partner with an accountability buddy who’s also an expert. Your MOBE Guide can help you stick to the promises you made to improve your health. 

Self-care isn’t selfish.

Use “me time” to boost your emotional well-being, reframe your mindset, de-stress, and experience the upside of socializing with customized support from a MOBE Guide.
